A big one: The AP calls safely blue #CT01 for former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, who ousts longtime Dem Rep. John Larson by a wide margin. Bronin is three decades younger than Larson, but Larson was the more progressive of the two.

Big milestone met for Environment Canada today as it launches its long-awaited storm-based thunderstorm and tornado warning system. It's mostly going to affect warnings received via cell phone, but it should substantially reduce the number of warnings for people not in the direct path of the storm.

Impressive severe storms currently rolling through the Cincinnati area with intense winds and potential quick tornadoes. Wind gust to 68 mph reported at Lunken Field, 59 mph just reported at CVG. #ohwx #kywx

The @nytimes hasn't written a single article asking if "voters will think Tom Tiffany is too radical" because he is an election-denying, pro-ICE, authoritarian extremist. Somehow, his position on the political spectrum has disappeared completely from the National and State Conversations™️

Farmington finally ended its 8 day streak of 100° heat today. The high today was 99°. That 8 day stretch broke the old August record of 3 days in a row, set in 1952. It is also the 3rd longest streak of 100° days on record. 6 of those 8 days also broke record highs. #NMwx

The Frijoles Fire has grown to 4,159 acres and remains 0% contained. Residents along Camino del Cañon in Cundiyo should evacuate immediately! Smoke will settle into northern NM valleys tonight. #NMFire

And BTW they had an earthquake you may have heard about as well

This system northeast of Bermuda looks surprisingly good for a 10% chance of tropical cyclone formation. 🐻⌚️

This would be a massive demand on resignation in every democratic country in the world. American media is a disgrace!

Looking increasingly likely that a complex of severe storms with very large hail and significant straight line wind damage will evolve across SD and into IA overnight.

Alan Gerard@wxmanms1.bsky.social · 2d ago

LOTS of weather to talk about this week: severe weather/flash flooding in the Midwest/East and AZ, heat across much of the US, and tropical concerns in Atlantic and for HI. Also some additional discussion about AI/ML in weather forecasting. tinyurl.com/bdf6u6ph

Wow, so back to the economic pressure that all the “loser” POTUSs tried. After killing 100s of people, ruining the economy and wasting all our munitions. F’ing brilliant.

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2d ago

Trump has settled on an old strategy in hopes of a new result in the Iran war: economic pressure. He has adopted a wait-and-see approach that would give financial sanctions and a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports more time to inflict economic harm.

FRIJOLES FIRE EVACUATION: Camino de Cañon Street in Cundiyo is now in GO status due to increased activity on the Frijoles Fire. Residents should evacuate immediately! The evacuation site is the Pojoaque Valley Middle School Gym. #NMFire #FrijolesFire

WCK is responding in Colombia, where a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the Pacific coast. WCK teams and local partners are working to serve meals to people in need as quickly as possible. This situation is evolving—follow along for more. Read More: wck.org/news/colombi...

I mean in the U.S. we’re in the midst of the worst measles outbreak in decades and the President decides that it’s critical, right at this very moment, to further undermine trust in the MMR vaccine.

Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

This man gave up a tenured position in Stanford's Econ department to do informercials in front of some awkward little kid and a sleeping geriatric. Must be weird to go through life with absolutely zero dignity.

The Frijoles Fire is now 3,290 acres and still 0% contained. Active fire behavior is expected again today. Crews and aircraft are working to slow the fire today. Cundiyo and Cerro Piñon remain under “Ready” status. Storms this week could bring rain, but also strong winds. #NMFire

Look, I know this guy is a liar. But is it not also possible that his staff is feeding him this bullshit to keep him placated and not coming after them?

President Donald Trump says the US still has the ability to escalate its military action against Iran. Also says the US military has mineswept the entire Strait of Hormuz, adding that the US completely controls the waterway.-Al Arabiya

Happy Birthday, Snoopy 🎂🥳🎈

I get it's a Monday in August, but 9:44am eastern would typically be working hours for the Secretary of Transportation? And he's in a diner next to his son-in-law who's running for Congress? Touting his coming reality TV show?

Sean Duffy says his roadtrip reality show will come out in "maybe two weeks" 🙃

Today is 49th consecutive day with 0 measurable rain at London Heathrow. Records began in 1948 at this site and it obliterates former record in June-July 2018 by 10 days and counting.
